“Where were we? My friend Mel (as in “Melissa”) lives in Key West and works at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville. Mel has been in touch since Hurricane Wilma roughed up south Florida, and the Keys apparently were damaged more than you’d have discerned watching the TV reports.

Mel’s own household had a foot of water in it–not unlike my own during Katrina–while her neighbors, whose houses sat a bit lower, suffered truly destructive flooding. This was common on the island, she says; almost all the homes of her co-workers at Margaritaville were similarly afflicted. The Key West store remains open, however, and the New Orleans store has reopened since Katrina. I don’t know any specifics, but Mel says the Buffett conglomerate has been very good to its employees.”
